Abstract


With the rapid development of global tourism, the tourism industry in China, especially when more and more foreign tourists are coming to China, requires a large member of professional staff. These requirements are becoming demanding. The staff should be competent in English communication. The Five-year Higher Vocational Schools play an important role in fostering talents for the tourism industry. They are saddled with the responsibility of improving the students’communicative competence in English. But nowadays two tendencies related to the five-year higher vocational education have come into being. One is to follow the English curriculum designed in universities. However, limited by the students’ abilities, teaching conditions and other factors, many students cannot keep up with the learning strategies and even are fed up with their schoolwork. The teaching aims cannot be achieved as planned. The other tendency is to follow the same English curriculum designed for junior middle schools-the examination-oriented education. To a certain degree, it neglects the applicability of the talents training in the five-year higher vocational schools, which leads to the fact that the English skills of the college graduates, especially their oral communication skill, cannot meet with the employers’ demands. To solve the critical issue, this paper focuses on analyzing the current situation of English curriculum design for Tourism Management in five-year higher vocational schools, to explore new ideas and new modes of the Curriculum Reform, to combine the English teaching and the tourism teaching more closely, and to cultivate practical talents for the tourism industry in China.The paper is divided into six chapters. The first chapter is an introduction. It states reasons for the topic selection, also including the purpose and significance of the study, main content, research methods, definitions of the related concepts and the outline of the paper. The second chapter reviews the theoretical bases, including the related theories of the curriculum design in the five-year higher vocational education and the research status at home and abroad. The third chapter cites the major of Tourism Management of Five-year System at Wuxi Higher Vocational School of Tourism and Commerce to analyze the main factors which constrain the English curriculum designed for Tourism Management in five-year higher vocational schools. The factors include the principles of curriculum design, the demand for talents, the students’abilities, teachers’ professional level, teaching conditions, etc. The fourth chapter studies the current situation of the English curriculum design for Tourism Management in five-year higher vocational education. It deals with the teaching features of different grades, the situation of the curriculum design, comparison and analysis on the curriculum models. The fifth chapter discusses the strengths of the English curriculum design for Tourism Management in five-year higher vocational education, which leaves much to be desired. The last chapter comes to the conclusion.
